I think unless he gets sacked its gonna take a really long time and something extremely special for him to move his family again, which he has already apologized twice for. He said no to WBA while in ÖFK, and I am 99% certain he would still be in Swansea if the owners cared about the club and if he wasnt straight out lied to when he got the job. If things are developing well, which I very much hope, I could easily see him staying for 5+ years.

My point I suppose is that as supporters we generally judge on ability. Knockaert & Andone are clearly not in the bottom 3 in that regard. We then question why they've gone. I can understand that much better now I've read the interview. Andone had bell end tenancies. Now it's confirmed. Jury still out on Knockaert and he's STILL my 8 year old lads favourite player.

I’m sure I read on here that Murray has him by the throat after a particularly ott challenge in training. Possibly got that wrong.

Did he try to ruffle our Glenn's hair?
Good way of thinking about it....

But neither like for like and neither able to replace GM.

[MENTION=30752]NooBHA[/MENTION] has been a very welcome addition to NSC. Good to see he’s still here and although an ardent CH fan (and mate maybe?) he is no sycophant. Tough act to follow for Swansman

No, but he accidentally exposed his combover.

I can only hope someone does the challenge he did for the soton game on him in turkey and it breaks his leg in half.
An absolute idiot. Fortunately we didn’t pay much for him unlike ali j or locadia debacle.

Not sure whether to be chuffed about the compliment or offended by the language used. Although I will concede. You were not the one who initiated the offensive " Terminology "
Since we’re playing under a different manager with a different system and since Murray is older than you in footballing terms, why is either a requirement?

My god what a silly choice of words to use whe making personal reference to yourself
An ironic post back using his own language.
Your contributions on here have been greatly appreciated. Nonetheless, it informs debate to understand if someone is a fan of the team, manager or player (c.f. thousands of irritating Iranians on social media who don’t understand that Jahanbakhsh is well below the required standards).

So you suggest we just pay him around £7M to live the high life and do f*** all, and then let4 him go for nowt at the end of his contract. Wow! That's all, just wow!
Nah not really, sometimes I'm godlike, sometimes a little potterbitch, usually something in between. I dont feel bad about myself so I can consider looking at myself in 3D now and then and find something a bit silly.
That's perfectly alright then. We've replaced Locadia and Andone, and we've still got GM. We will have to replace him next season, I guess, but only if Potter wants to play with a GM type CF. There are other formations and tactics available........................

Was a joke
Thank you. I have enjoyed the journey in watching Chris transform Brighton. The players I watched in the beginning couldn't kick doors at Halloween to see the enhanced standard of players by the time he left was nothing short of phenomenal. A testament to how good a job he did.
You are correct. I am no "sycophant" I have my own "status" within my own field of work. It's just a different field of work.
Potter won't ever make the same process as Chris did. The jump from lower PL to mid and upper PL is far more difficult. Just look at the amount of players who came in to the club since being in the PL and who have already been offloaded. There has been about 12 of them at least in a 24 month period.
If Graham Potter takes Brighton consistently to mid table playing attacking football I will tip my hat to him but it isn't easy to do.
It would be good to see Chris' legacy improved on but I fear the players may not be there to do that. Not yet anyhow.
I look at how good a footballer both Trossard and Bissouma are; however, both are as much of a liability defensively as they are an asset driving forward
